Remotes - Too Many For Me

I saw all these assembled beside Joe one evening

 and just had to take a picture. 

I've told Joe he has to stick around for a LONG time. 

This is all too complicated for me! 

Left to right - I kind of know how to operate Joe's phone. Then there's the control for the TV screen. Its menu options aren't intuitive at all (at least not for me). We have a control for the wireless speaker that kind of addresses the problem of the sound from the screen going straight up the two story living room ceiling instead of across the room where the listeners are seated. There's a remote for our cable service. Talk about too many choices!!! The last one on the right is for Apple TV. That opens a whole world of possibilities.

With the right combination (and sequence) of remotes and button presses we can watch cable, shows off Joe's computer, programs from iTunes, and also from Netflix - and a bunch of other places. That's a lot of choices - and a lot of remotes.
